Dwayne Johnson to star in new Disney’s ‘Moana’?

Johnson, 42, who has previously starred in ‘Pain & Gain’ and the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise – is wanted to voice the part of a demi-god known as Maui.

Johnson’s proposed character joins Moana as she sets out on her mission to find a fabled island. The pair must tackle an unenviable array of challenges, including a giant see creature, as they try to reach their end destination.

The new Disney animation is being led by Ron Clements and John Musker, the directors who were responsible for ‘Aladdin’, ‘The Princess And The Frog’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’. However, before possibly appearing in ‘Moana’, Dwayne will star in ‘Furious 7’, the latest film in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

The film will also feature Vin Diesel and will mark the final on-screen appearance of Paul Walker, who died in a car accident on November 30, 2013.
